1. What did you learn?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this project, I learned how to use HTML\/CSS to design a basic website. During the process, I understood how to resize different elements and forms on each page. Understanding how HTML and CSS work is critical, despite the limits that CSS has.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. What was easy?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the most part, the HTML portion of this project was simple. Since I had experience using this language in another class, I was familiar with some of the tags and indentation styles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. What was challenging?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CSS part of this project was tricky in getting the positioning and layout of objects to conform to each page. Even though I used this language in the past, getting elements to line up properly was challenging and time-consuming. While I like learning about CSS, it takes a long time to master and become proficient in each concept. For instance, I had a lot of problems with my media query and also getting a masonry Javascript plugin to work for my Portfolio page. As a side note, I was unsure of how each page could fit different screen sizes. For instance, my Portfolio page looks fine on a 24″ monitor but is off-centered on my 15″ Macbook Pro screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. How could your submission be improved<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If I had more time, I would continue to work on the Masonry portion and see if I could get something to work, as well as rewrite the media query so that the mobile version of the website displays correctly on smaller screens. I would also fix the calibration so that each page displays the same on all screen sizes. Overall, this was definitely not my best work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. How could I improve the assignment next class?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would continue to use HTML\/CSS for this project, but I would spend more time talking about the media queries as this was the core portion of the assignment that I didn’t fully understand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. How might you apply your knowledge in future assignments or work scenarios?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This knowledge of HTML\/CSS can apply to jobs in the web design and web development industry, areas that combine Digital Media and Computer Science. From this Project, I learned more CSS and advanced techniques to make web pages look clean and functional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. How did a specific reading or video inspire or help you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this assignment, I was inspired by an article that talked about different web design concepts. Although I was unable to implement most of these into my project, I learned the possibilities that HTML\/CSS offers despite being standard languages. While the article is old, these concepts still apply to the web industry today and showcase fundamental techniques that can enhance one’s website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
